3 small systems will impact the weather in southeastern New England during the next 7 days, one this evening, one Saturday evening, and one early Tuesday, based on current timing.
The first one is a cold front passing by this evening but with limited shower activity, however still serving to push some muggy air out of the region and replace it with cooler and drier air by Friday into Saturday.
The second system will be a weak double barrel low pressure area passing by Saturday night from southwest to northeast. The first low will move through the eastern Great Lakes and keep most of its moisture north and west of here. The other low will move out south of New England and it currently looks like the greatest chance of wet weather from that will be occurring over RI and southeastern MA. All of this will be offshore by Sunday which will be another cooler, dry day, with this weather lasting through most of Monday as well, though with a bit of a warm-up later Monday.
The third system looks like a weak low pressure area moving through early Tuesday of next week with a shower threat and another shot of cooler and drier air following it.
